More Trivia

few trivia questions.
1) While in prison, Jim worked up a debt to Gandy of $1,500. dollars. How
did this come about?
2) Name the episode where we hear this dialogue.
a) "See, his gun is deadly,...mine's in the cookie jar".
b) "the Fontaine brothers wouldn't know a doggy biscuit if it was stuck in
their ear".
c) "I told you man, I paint what I feel" Jim: "You must not feel well".
3) What was the Borlean Diamond supposedly worth?
4) Name 6 relatively well known *female* guest stars that have appeared in
at least two episodes.
5) Name the episode in which Jim stumbles into a Halloween party.
6) Off hand, I know of 3 episodes that Jim actually sits down and plays
cards with strangers (like a Maverick no doubt). Can you name the episodes?
(There could be more than three. I'm just winging it as I go along).
7) So how did Meagan eventually become blind?

As far as Jim palying cards,

and I don't remember the others.
Better check with The Lemon.

OK, another one for sure is "This Case Is Closed" with Joseph Cotten.
He's in New Jersey somewhere and the Lieutenant busts him...
In "There's one in Every Port", Joan Van Ark talks to Jim about being a
good card player --- yeah!, that's another one! Jim got in the card game
and it was robbed.
So there's two more, I'll think about if there's any others...

There's at least one more time where card-playing is referenced (but not
seen, and therefore doesn't entirely fit the trivia question). I LOL'ed
when I remembered it, I'll bet you will too...
I think this is out of "White on White and Nearly Perfect", in
Rockford's trailer, talking to Rocky. He gets and/or holds a carton of
milk in his hand.
(paraphrasing) Jim (to Rocky): "The card game got busted. Angel hit a cop."

Wasn't Jim in a poker game in one of the episodes Joan Van Ark co-starred
in? The game got ripped off and Jim ends up inventing a con involving some

always puzzled me. Is it supposed to be Angel Martin the famous coward? The
one who told Del Caine that he would lead him right to Rockford because he knew
all the places he goes. And how about the time he told Chet Sierra to kill
Rockford but leave himself alive so he would be around to tell everyone how you
don't mess with Chet Sierra. And then there was the time, well I guess I could
go on and on. Maybe its a different Angel who hit the cop. I don't think
Angel would have the courage to take on a five year old in a fight.
Bill Anderson
I took it more as "Angel hit (on) a cop", as in Angel brought in a cop
to the card game. I didn't take the line literally but then again, that
doesn't make my interpretation correct...

Another card game referenced but not seen -- in the episode "In Hazard",
Rocky asks Beth "How's your pinochle?". And we're led to believe they

In addition to the Rockford Gals mentioned so far, we should probably also
mention Julie Parrish. I think all of her scenes from "The Man Who Saw The
Alligators" were edited out for the 60-minute syndicated version, but she is in
the longer version. She's also in "Lions, Tigers, Monkeys and Dogs."
She's probably better-known than some of the actresses I originally listed, as
the Elvis Presley movie buffs and Star Trek cultists are both especially aware
of her.
DW
I would have to agree with Bill. When they said Angel hit a cop, I think it
was exactly that, they had a crooked game, and hit a cop with the con or
scam.
RNeill22
>Angel would have the courage to take on a five year old in a fight.
Regarding Angel's fighting skills, isn't there an episode in which Angel helps
Jim clobber the goons who have come into Jim's trailer and afterward Jim tells
him something like: " Hey, Angel, I didn't think you had it in you!" I think
even Angel Martin, when properly motivated, will fight back.
Bill Anderson
I think that came from "The Family Hour" but it was actually Angel's
apartment...

the scene. I thought it took place inside of Jim's trailer, but can't say
for sure. Didn't Angel follow up Jim's line with, "I want to go home", or
am I confusing scenes here? Aaagh! That's trivia for you.

Moreno character to leave. Jim comes up the back way. The pimp comes up,
Rita gets shot as she jumps in front of Jim (taking a bullet meant for

Is this the fight that Angel had? I don't know the name of the episode.

That episode was called the "No Fault Affair". It's not the episode I'm
thinking of, but I remember Angel going ballistic at the end. It was a
funny moment. It was basically a, "do or die" situation for him and he
pulled through as only Angel can.

Didn't Jim admonish him for telling the pimp he (angel) had $1,000 on

Wait a minute! I can answer one for sure. The dog got killed immediately

Believe it or not, a trick question. You just don't realize it. Actually
now that I think about it, I'm not sure of the name when the show

That name (whatever it is) is dubbed in to the entire show. Watch the

Whoa, caught me off guard here. Very interesting, as I never noticed that.
I guess I'll have to view this episode sometime this week to figure what
brand of jeans they were actually planning on going with. Do you know the
reasons why they made that change?
BroncBusters were indeed the jeans in question.
Brian
Bill Anderson
Sometimes you can figure it out based on lip movement and such -- for
instance, in Profit and Loss the people were saying "Financial Dynamics"
as opposed to "Fiscal Dynamics".
The trouble with "A Material Difference" is that you can tell that the
dialog got changed, but from what is impossible. I had no clue. Watch
the episode, study it, and see if you can tell. I have. Can't tell. I
only know through Rob.
And why? I have an idea but everyone I mention it to says I'm wrong. So
I don't know...
I'm leaving the name of the jeans out of this email in case you wanna
check out the episode if you have it taped...
Other overdub episodes (off the top of my head)
Profit and Loss (as noted)
Only Rock And Roll Will Never Die
Nice Guys Finish Dead
A Material Difference
I think there are others but I can't remember 'em right now...
Bill Anderson
----
RNeill22
Although it doesn't really qualify as an overdub, the same lip-reading
principle occurs in "The Becker Connection," which I believe should be on
TVLand in a few days.
After Jim has been talking on the kitchen's trailer phone to Angel, Jim returns
his attention to the egg he was frying when Angel called. Jim sees the pan's
contents are now a singed, congealed mess and he appears to mouth the words
"Aw, shit!" The words aren't actually heard on the soundtrack and weren't in
the Closed-Captioning of TNN's version, but it seems pretty obvious what he's
saying.
Gary Moheban
> The trouble with "A Material Difference" is that you can tell that the
dialog got changed, but from what is impossible.
Another thing similar to this that I have noticed in many episodes is the
dialogue being re-done in post-production. You can tell pretty easily
because the change isn't very seamless. For example, Jim will be on the
beach having a fairly long conversation with someone. Jim's voice will
sound a bit different in several lines of dialogue than it sounded in the
rest of the scene.
I assume this is done because the sound got screwed up in the original
dialogue and had to be cleaned up later. You don't notice this happening in
current television series. The technology must have improved dramatically
since TRF.
Bill Anderson
Yep, it's pretty easy to tell.
In one case, in Nice Guys Finish Dead, it's not even James Garner's
voice doing the voiceover!

Well, curiousity got the better of me so I had to throw this episode on
tonight. Bill, it is clear that BroncBusters are not mentioned at all in
the original dialogue. However, trying to determine exactly what brand of
jeans they were naming at the time proved to be a task on its own. Jim
visibly worded it twice, and then there was the Navy commander who mentioned
it, but I still couldn't figure it out. It looked as though he started out
by saying "blue",....something or another.
They must have decided on the name change halfway through the episode, as
towards the end, they purposely show the "BroncBusters Corp" sign outside
their offices. Or could that have been thrown in just prior to release?
What I don't understand, is why the name change to begin with? In any case,
what a great episode.
Brian
Bill Anderson
For starters, the original name was "Bushwackers".
Now, as to the sign -- I don't remember the scene where they show it but
you could handle it a number of ways. You could superimpose lettering
over the original shot. If it's a close up of the sign itself, you could
do that at any time. I do remember the navy guy in the police station
picking up a business card. When you cut in close (different shot!),
it's BroncBusters. That close up was clearly added in later.
